Do you believe in beauty?

Believe?

Don’t you think it’s a religion?

I stand corrected. It can favour a form of faith.

Beauty for beauty’s sake or objective!

But there’s always something less than adequate.

Oh! I can't wait.

A swallow-the-world mouth

Any-which-way-they-can teeth

Adopted mops of hair

Down-on-their-luck designer breasts

A too-short-or-too-long prick

Toys-for-us nails

Snuff-the-fire feet

And anything else to dampen any blinded desire.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Chubby chance!

The beholder only perceives the beauty.

Same thing!

Perhaps!

Vilain nez ne gâche pas beau visage (Ugly nose does not spoil beautiful face).

Dedicated to Athena's beauty.
